And I always thought it started in the 20 century in America So why did it explode compared to its beginning in England

My degree is in Theatre and my minor was Musical Theatre. My first musical in high school was The Music Man and I'd always wanted to be in a quartet. Just before my 21st birthday, one of my fellow University Madrigal Ensemble members said he was putting together a quartet to audition for Cedar Point Amusement Park and asked if I wanted in. We got the gig for the summer. I've been singing in quartets ever since. I've been in 5 competing quartets over the years and just between that first quartet and my most previous quartet, I've performed over 1,000 barbershop shows in 37 states, over 300 cities, 9 different countries and became a million mile flyer with my main airline. I'm currently singing in a quartet that's only been around for a year and plan on doing more shows and traveling with them, as well. Hopefully I'll continue doing this for the remainder of my life because singing is a hobby you can usually engage in for a lifetime. It's pretty great.

Of course Baritones were the happiest with the Society's name change because we all know that SPEQSQSA REALLY stands for, 'Some People, Especially Baritones, Should Quit Singing Altogether." X-D

When last spring, my town theater director called me and said, 'Well....we are doing The Music Man this November so...." I immediately said, 'I'm in the quartet!!'. Ha ha! As I'm part of her vocal ensemble, she has been aware of my penchant for being a BBS singer so she didn't even have to ask. I have been singing BBS on and off for 36 years and was a director of a city chorus for 10 years. I don't have anybody around to sing it with but I'm definitely thinking of going to the bigger city to advertise to make a quartet up.

Athough it started in the US, It's a global pastime that's practiced all over the world. I think sometimes BHS forgets this. Also Sweet Ads is huge , definitely not predominately a male pastime. We shouldn't circumscribe this great hobby to a location and a gender.

Great video! I am part of barbershop family since 2020 - singing at a female chorus called „a cappella company“ in Germany. 🇩🇪 it’s such a great hobby.

Still kinda a baby barbershopper here, I LOVE singing barbershop and the second family I’ve fostered with Visions of Harmony is one I’ve never had a chance to foster before, Barbershop is an amazing community and it really helped pull me out of the deep deep depression I was in when I joined and I wouldn’t trade it for the world

Nice video! I sing with Music City Chorus in Nashville, and we just got home from being invited to sing at the 50th anniversary British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS). It's an american tradition that has made its way into the passions of countless people around the world!

This video is awesome. Thanks for posting this!

It was a way for people...mostly men...to gather, without instruments, to sing and fellowship. Minstrels were not primarily voice, they were entertainers using dance and other things to promote their acts. Many focused on spirituals, barbershop was a way for publicity and profit. Tin Pan Ally made people money! I knew many men that had family members from the turn of the last Century tell the history. The experiences of loved ones who actually LIVED thru it. Regardless...the Physics of sound never changes.

Wonderful video. I am a member of a quartet in Auburn Alabama called Breakaway, and thoroughly enjoyed this project.

Loved the smash battle and someone finally used the swimming animations that they said that wasnt used at all in their video

This is definitely one of the better ones I've seen. The Little Mac joke got a proper dad laugh out of me.

Yours is actually really good, I laughed a lot !

Jordan shouldn’t have hit the “I love casting spells” taunt there he would’ve won if he didn’t.

Such a great use of the "you'll never recover". Got a giggle out of me for sure, well done!

An instant classic. Can’t wait to see it in theaters

WTF did I just watch....also, that was some masterful editing!

The "put your hands where I can see em" pose wat incredible

Future film maker

Nice! Great video format! :D Quick tip though, if you're editing in Sony Vegas, right click your clips on the timeline, go to "switches" and select "disable resampling". Right now there's a ghost-effect on your blocks because it's trying to duplicate frames between the Quests uneven framerate of.. 23 something! :D Stay awesome and keep up the swinging!

Love love LOVE LOVE this!!!!!!! 💘💘💘🎭🎭🎭
